	If he has a known grave then The Commonwealth War Graves Commission should be able to advise you of its whereabouts. CWGC 2 Marlow Road Maidenhead, SL6 7DX 01628 634221 Good luck

	Looks like the CWGC site is not working at the moment. But using another source, could this be him? Boyes, Albert Edward Victor Cemetery: Athens Memorial Country: Greece Area: Athens Rank: Rifleman Official Number: 6849585 Unit: 9th (1st Bn. The Rangers) Bn. King's Royal Rifle Corps. Force: Army Nationality: British Details: 18th April 1941. Age 24. Husband of B. A. Boyes of Peckham London. Face 7. Sorry but I have to say that his name is on the Memorial in Athens which may suggest he has no known grave. George

	As he is on the memorial it suggests he has no known grave.
